| Additional information |
The Jamul Indian Village, a federally recognized Kumeyaay band in San Diego County, is among the smallest tribal nations in the United States — at times numbering fewer than a dozen enrolled members. Their authority to issue legal tender derives from the federal recognition that also entitles them to operate gaming facilities, and these tribal coins circulate within that sovereign jurisdiction. The Santee referenced here are a Dakota Sioux people with no geographic connection to Jamul whatsoever.
This kind of cross-tribal labeling is a commercial fixture of the Native American novelty coin market, where issuing tribes license imagery broadly rather than document their own history.
